I was wondering if I only need two files for frames? I do need more than one html page, it's going to be an about page, it's going to have an about page for me and an about page for a friend, I only need and index.html, and a mainsrc.html file for frames correct?? I looked online for some tutorials, I really didn't understand what they were saying...

For frames you have the page that the frame is on, let's say index.html, and then you will need another page to display the content inside the frame. (With the src="..." attribute)
So, on index.html,
And on page2.html,
That's just an example.
So, on index.html,
HTML:
<iframe src="page2.html" width="500" height="500"></iframe>And on page2.html,
HTML:
<h2>Hello</h2><p>Content goes here.</p>That's just an example.

No, put all of your links and stuff on leftside.html, and on the index page, (Should be index.html 
) it would show up if you used this code.
Hope you get it now You can change the 'leftside.html', the width & height to whatever you want.

then?
There's a problem here, it's opening the content in the leftside.html instead of index.html
I put <Iframe src="leftside.html"></iframe>
in the index.html file, does that go in the body section, or above <body></body>,
I put a href="aboutrich.html" in the leftside.html file, maybe that's why it's not showing in the right pane?
Code:
<frameset cols="25%, 75*">
</frameset>then?

Alright, just have a look at this.
You put it in the <body> tags where you want it to appear, if you don't have anything restricting the size, then it will just fill the whole page up.
index.html
leftside.html

<a href="aboutrich.html">About Rich</a>Thanks, I got them working anyway, I read w3.org online and they said <frameset></frameset> isn't being used any longer, now they use JavaScript and CSS, I am not sure how they use CSS to do Frames, I looked in my CSS How-To book and there was nothing in there for frames..
After I clicked the home link, it just opens another frame, how do I stop that from happening?
